Today we are looking back on our four years in high school. As we reminisce, we are reminded of the many occasions on which our parents and teachers exhibited their sincere love and kindness. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank our loving parents for being so under- standing, and we thank our teachers for instructing us even when we didn’t want to learn. We want to express our gratitude especially to Mr. Shaw, Mr. Chadwick, and Mr. Roach for their guidance and encouragement. And thank you, God, for our many, many blessings. Now we are beginning a new chapter in the book of our lives. We are entering the austere world of adulthood, and we have many apprehensions. We will be called upon to make numerous decisions that will chart the road of our lives. But with our faith to sustain us, our loved ones to encourage us, and a desire to succeed, we will push “forward without fear.” Again, in behalf of the Class of Nineteen Hundred-Sixty Three, | welcome you to these, our Class Day exercises. As our friends, teachers, and parents, many of you have shared our problems; we hope that you will now share with us the happy moments we have experienced during our four years in high school. © WA cn SANDRA SALEM CLASS MOTTO: Forward Without Fear CLASS COLORS: Green and White CLASS FLOWER: Carnation Class Song We, the class of sixty-three, sadly say adieu; On this blissful day, we start our lives anew. We will always cherish knowledge we have gained. Only with the power of God, this feeling will remain. CHORUS Now with hope and faith in the future, knowing that we must part, We leave Millbury High School with a doleful heart. Out into the world we go, traveling separate ways, Forward without fear, all our live-long days. Knowing not what life will hold, we will win our fame; Forward, upward, onward, this will always be our aim. CHORUS Now with hope and faith in the future, knowing that we must part, We leave Millbury High School with a doleful heart. a7 The year 1963 marks the Sesquicentennial Anniver- sary of our native home town, Millbury. Glancing through the newly printed history of Millbury, | see that the Class of ‘63 has gained much fame and honor throughout the town. There is an article dedicated directly to our class and it reads: It was Septembe r of 1959, and they entered Mill- bury Memorial High for the first time as timid little freshmen. On this memorable day they elected their class officers: President Stephen Redmond, Vice- President Sandra Anderson, Secretary Joyce Perry, Treasurer Thomas Nelson, and Class Captain David Maynard. Their noble representatives to the Stu- dent Council were Stephen Redmond, Sandra Ander- son, and Joyce Perry. The more courageous boys joined the football team. They were: Richard Sadowski, John Taillefer, Peter Stead, Wayne Taparowski, William Reeves, Ronald Chevalier, and Dennis Rawinski. The man- agers were David Maynard and Donald Gauthier. Cheering their team on to victory were Pauline Gonya and Paula Dempsey, the freshman cheer- leaders. Field hockey attracted Sandra Salem, Karen Lund- gren, Carol Blackburn, and Marcia Owen. These busy students stilt had time to take part in the French and Dramatics Clubs and the debating team. Among this class there were many vocalists who displayed their talents in the Glee Club. Soon Mr. Dillon was welcomed by these students as their new English teacher. Mr. Dillon also aided Miss Elizabeth Walsh with the annual school play, “The Inner Willy,” in which Judith Zimatravich and Joyce Perry starred. When basketball season rolled around, Linda Han- son, Carmen Roy, Elizabeth White, and Diane Dunn were the only energetic girls who participated in the sport. As for the boys, Richard Sadowski, James Kotel, Glen Parath, Wayne Taparowski, David Army, and Thomas Nelson signed up for the boys’ team and Peter Stead was the manager. After struggling through their first experience with mid-year exams, the spring sports were await- ing them. The sole representatives on the baseball team were Richard Erickson and Richard Sadowski. The only athletic girl was Carmen Roy who played softball. The track team was well supported by the freshmen with John Bendonis, Stephen Redmond, Thomas Sullivan, Charles Kleiza, James Kotel, William Class Stistory Reeves, Wayne Taparowski, Thomas Fox, and Ronald Chevalier running and jumping to the best of their ability. After a long and restful summer vacation, the Class of ‘63 returned as confident sophomores with higher ideas and goals. This year, Mr. Stephen Beaton was appointed Superintendent of Schools, and Mr. Raymond Shaw was their new principal. Miss Diane Berthiaume was welcomed by all to teach Problems of Democracy. Their new class adviser was Mr. John Chadwick. Elections were held and the officers were: President Sandra Salem, Vice- President Paula Dempsey, Treasurer Judith Zimatra- vich, Secretary Alice Chapman, and Class Captain Laura Bolafka. Their class president joined the other members on the Student Council. This class contributed to an undefeated field hock- ey team. The new members were Rosemary Plaud, Margaret Skidgell, and Linda Hanson. Coach Philip Philip spotted many new prospects for his football team from this class. They were Stephen Noonan, James Kotel, Richard Parella, Richard Erickson, and David Perry who joined the veterans Richard Sadow- ski, John Taillefer, and Wayne Taparowski. The Biology Club was comprised mostly of young scientific sophomores: President Kenneth Ricard, Vice- President Jeannette Tebo, Treasurer David Maynard. The other members were: Cynthia Palin, Ralph Maguire, Linda Bisel, Beverly Germain, Patricia Was- kiewicz, Harold Erickson, Thomas Nelson, William Reeves, and Dennis Rawinski. Many competent students served on the Office, Library and Reflector Staffs. Their two orators, Tho- mas Fox and Michael Girovard, were strong sup- porters of the debating team. This year the basketball team went all the way to win the Blackstone Valley League Championship and the Clark Tournament. There were real champions on the team like James Kotel, Wayne Taparowski, Ralph Maguire, and Richard Sadowski. The girls were not as ambitious as their boys were; the girls’ team was limited to only three sophomores. Another accomplishment of the Class of ‘63 was their successful record hop, the “Valentine Heart Bump,” which was the result of hard work and support from the whole class. Their scholastic ability was noted by the accom- plishments of Sandra Anderson, Ruth Ann Paine, Joyce Perry, and Patricia Waskiewicz who were named Horace Mann Students. Sandra Salem, Chris- tine Nyberg, Judith Hickory, and Kathleen Whitte- more received awards for their outstanding work in the “Know English” Contest. Soon the good weather was back and the athletic field was the center of attraction with Richard Sadowski, Glen Parath, and Richard Erickson prac- ticing diligently with the baseball team and its new coach, Hudson Matson. Carol Paquette, Carmen Roy, Jeannette Tebo, Nancy Hamilton, Nancy Paille, and Elizabeth White were once again playing on the softball team. The track team received a few more boosters from the sophomores, Donald Gauthier, John Scannell, David Perry, Ralph Maguire, Stephen Noonan, and Thomas Nelson. Soon their adventurous sophomore year was completed, and as a reward for their strenuous year, they merited a long and peaceful vacation. As their class returned in September of 1961, they were displaying their new class rings, a symbol of upper classmen, which were chosen by Richard Sadowski, Paula Dempsey, Sandra Anderson, Laura Bolafka and Thomas Fox. The Class of ‘63 viewed many changes in the school system. Miss Mona Quane was assigned a junior English class, Mrs. Linda Brennan was replacing Mr. Richard Kenary as the biology teacher, and Mr. Rocco Bruno suc- ceeded Mr. Salvatore Paratore as band and Glee Club instructor. The results of their elections were the same this year. Richard Sadowski, Thomas Fox, Harold Briddon, Sandra Anderson, Joyce Perry, and Sandra Salem were the selected group for the Student Council. Once again, the Science, French, Dramatic and Debating Clubs attracted many of their classmates while Judith Stewart, Charlotte Monigle, Sandra Anderson, Tura Briddon, Patricia Van Ostrand, Nancy Paille, Paula Dempsey, Joyce Perry, Rosemary Plaud, Charlene Forrest, Janet Stepenovitch, Stephen Red- mond, Nancy Hamilton, and Sandra Salem joined the Reflector Staff. That fall, John Murin, John Taillefer, Stephen Noonan, Dennis Rowinski, Thomas Nelson, Peter Stead, Joseph Langway, and Richard Sadowski answered the call for football with Laurence Berthiaume as their manager. Nancy Paille and Charlotte Monigle joined Paula Dempsey on the cheering squad. Sandra Salem, Rosemary Plaud, Karen Lundgren, Sandra Shaughnessy, Susan Deslaurier, and Linda Hanson all joined the field hockey team. The Magazine Drive was once again underway under the supervision of Mr. Paul Lacouture, and Stephen Redmond was the Assistant Manager of the drive. Well, the juniors proved to be the best sales- men in the whole school. Room 28, an all junior home room, was the winner of the Pizza Party. This left the Class of ‘63 in a very favorable financial con- dition. Nancy Paille, Charlotte Monigle, Rosemary Plaud, Linda Narx, and Thomas Fox displayed their dramatic talents in the comedy, “Quit Your Kiddin’.” Once again, the juniors were represented on the basketball teams by many able classmates. With mid-years a thing of the past, they began preparing for the Annual Science Fair. All the chemistry students took part in this affair with David Maynard winning first place end Christine Morris, Karen Lundgren, Marshall Dana, John Murin, Janet Stepenovitch, and Paula Dempsey winning honor- able mentions for their projects. From this group nine worthy students were chosen for the National Honor Society. They were Sandra Anderson, Linda Narx, Sandra Salem, Joyce Perry, Paula Dempsey, Patricia Waskiewicz, Marshall Dana, Glen Parath, and Richard Sadowski. With the spring season, Stephen Noonan, Thomas Nelson, James Kotel, Glen Parath, Wayne Taparow- ski, Joseph Langway, and Donald Gauthier all turned out for track. Only four girls were on the softball team, Carol Paquette, Carmen Roy, Jeannette Tebo, and Elizabeth White. Richard Erickson and Richard Sadowski were the only juniors on the baseball team that spring. Preparations were now being made for their first prom. The Orchestra Committee was composed of Paula Dempsey, chairman, Glen Parath, and Chris- tine Nyberg. Writing the invitations were: Judith Zimatravich, organizer, Joyce Perry, Ruth Ann Paine, Amy Stowe, Charlene Forrest, and Margaret Skidgell. The gym was gaily decorated by Sandra Salem and Rosemary Plaud, chairmen, Nancy Paille, Tura Brid- don, Patricia Van Ostrand, Stephen Redmond, William Lange, Harold Erickson, Linda Narx, and William Reeves. Another year came to a close and school recessed for another summer. The fall of 1962 was the beginning of an import- ant and busy year for this class because now they are seniors faced with many decisions and problems. There were a few new faces at school this season; Mr. Robert Miles was the new senior English teacher, Mr. John White filled the position as Consumer Economics and Commercial Geography teacher. Miss Judith Leonard and Miss Joan Peterson were the sophomore and junior English teachers respectively. Mr. Joseph Kuchawski was appointed as biology teacher. The results of the election were President Sandra Salem, Vice-President Paula Dempsey, Treasurer Judith Zimatravich, Secretary Laura Bolafka and Class Captain Alice Chapman. The seniors seemed to take over the Student Council with Linda Narx, President; Paula Dempsey Vice-President; and Sandra Salem, Secretary. Sandra 39 Anderson and Laura Bolafka were the other two active seniors on the Student Council. Shortly after this, the Class of ‘63 chose their Aftermath Staff. Sandra Salem was the editor-in- chief, Linda Narx and Patricia Van Ostrand were the assistant editors, while Marshall Dana and Susan Deslaurier were the associate editors. For the busi- ness staff of the Aftermath, Harold Erickson was manager. Amy Stowe, Glen Parath, Robert Watkins, Alice Chapman, and Peter Stead were all working diligently to get ads. The Photography Committee consisted of Richard Sadowski, Paula Dempsey, Judith Zimatravich, Nancy Paille, Rosemary Plaud, and Harold Erickson. Mercer Studio was selected as the Class Photographer. Serving their last year on the football team were Co-Captains Richard Sadowski and Joseph Langway, along with David Perry, Glen Parath, Wayne Tapa- rowski, Peter Stead, and John Taillefer, fighting desperately for a WOOLIES victory. Sandra Salem and Karen Lundgren, Co-Captains of the hockey team led Carmen Roy, Alice Chapman, Rosemary Plaud, Sandra Shaughnessy, and Susan Deslaurier to many victories. The Reflector Staff was headed by Nancy Paille as editor-in-chief and Linda Narx and Janet Stepeno- vitch as assistant editors. Sandra Salem was chosen as their D.A.R. and Student Government Representative, based on her worthy character and interest in democracy. Again it was time for the school play. This year, a few new actors and actresses came to the stage. Judith Zimatravich, Linda Narx, Charlotte Monigle, William Bedord, Christine Nyberg, and Michael Girouard showed their dramatic talents in “Mr. Co-ed.” At this time, we were informed that Nancy Paille, Rosemary Plaud, Linda Narx, Sandra Salem, Christine Nyberg, Charlotte Monigle, Michael Girouard, William Bedord, and Judith Zimatravich had become members of the National Thespian Society. A word of great praise goes to Patricia Waskiewicz and Ruth Ann Paine who merited the title of Horace Mann Students once again, along with the new- comer, Patricia Van Ostrand. The basketball season was once again underway and John Murin, Glen Parath, and Richard Sadowski were led by Captain James Kotel to many victories. For the second year, the basketball team was being coached by Mr. Paul Kollios. Sandra Shaughnessy and Carmen Roy, Co-Captains of the girls’ basketball team, once again participated in the sport along with Elizabeth White and Carol Paquette. At the Science Fair at school, Glen Parath and Marshall Dana were the top winners, along with Sandra Salem who received an honorable mention. 40 The main interest was the Senior Prom, “Rhapsody in Blue,” at which Linda Narx reigned as queen. However, the people who made this occasion such a success were: Judith Zimatravich, James Kotel, and Harold Erickson who selected the orchestra. Nancy Paille, Sandra Salem, Linda Hanson, Tura Briddon, Rosemary Plaud, Charlene Forrest, Laurence Ber- thiaume, James Salo, William Reeves, William Lange, and Patricia Van Ostrand decorated the gym for the special event. The Invitation Committee was com- posed of Amy Stowe, Christine Nyberg, Rosemary Plaud, Marshall Dana, and Jeannette Tebo. The spring sports once again started and Richard Sadowski and Captain Richard Erickson were the only seniors battling and catching for the Woolies team. Stephen Noonan, James Salo, David Snow, Joseph Langway, Glen Parath, Wayne Taparowski, Donald Gauthier, Thomas Nelson, and Captain James Kotel were all hopeful competitors at the track meets. Elizabeth White, Carmen Roy, and Carol Paquette were all captains of the softball team. Mr. Raymond Shaw announced the Senior Honor Group as Ruth Ann Paine, Sandra Anderson, Susan Deslaurier, Patricia Van Ostrand, Patricia Waskiewicz, Glen Parath, Sandra Salem, Linda Narx, Marshall Dana, Ronald McClure, Nancy Paille, Robert Watkins, and Kathleen Whittemore. From this group, Sandra Anderson, Patricia Waskiewicz, Patricia Van Ostrand, and Ruth Ann Paine, who had the highest averages in the Senior Class, were chosen as Graduation Speakers. At the third annual induction of the National Honor Society, Susan Deslaurier, Patricia Van Ostrand, Carmen Roy, Kathleen Whittemore, and Tura Briddon were elected as new members. Glen Parath was chosen as President; Richard Sadowski, Vice-President; Marshall Dana, Secretary; and Paula Dempsey, Treasurer. Soon it was time to elect their Class Day Speakers. The results were as follows: Christine Nyberg, Last Will and Testament; Charlotte Monigle, Statistics; Linda Narx, Class Gifts; Michael Girouard, Class Prophecy; Rosemary Plaud, Omissions and Correc- tions; and Paula Dempsey, Class History. Carmen Roy, Priscilla Gibeau, and Susan Des- laurier were selected for the Class Song Committee. Alice Chapman, Edward Plante, and Linda Hanson comprised the Motto Committee. Robert Dulmaine was assisted by John Taillefer and David Perry on the Tie Committee. This is a list of the many accomplishments of the Class of 1963 which will be remembered by all. You have just heard an authentic report on the history of the Class of ‘63 at Millbury Memorial High. This class has succeeded very well in the past, and | sincerely believe that the future holds more in store for every one in this active class.

That, however, was many a year ago. Things are different now. The Millbury school system no longer exists. Now, instead of the classroom, children take graded intelligence capsules. Gone are the simple days of international tension and John F. Kennedy. Today, in 2163, America is troubled with interplanetary difficulties and we have inaugurated our 72nd president, Fullbright Ambergris. Me? I’m the great grandson of Michael S. Girouard, Michael S. Girouard IV. | thought it might be interesting, here at this 350th anniversary celebration of the founding of the town of Millbury, to see what happened to the Millbury High School graduating class of 1963, 200 years ago. After graduation, many of the Class of ‘63 chose professions which were to become antiquated in 200 years. Glen Parath chose to become an auto- mobile technician while Edward Carlson rose to the vice-presidency of General Motors, then under the guiding hand of John Bendonis, chairman of the board of directors. It is interesting to note that many of the graduates of ‘63 chose professions which were similar to or brought them in contact with other members of the Class of ‘63. As evidence, Ralph Maguire, founder of the Maguire chain of bowling establishments had, as his bookkeeping staff, Linda Grenier, Joan Roe and Beverly Roe. Also, Richard Erickson, Peter Stead, Gary Lucas and Tho- mas Nelson, founders of the “Little Old Winemakers’ Brewing and Distilling Corporation” had Ruth Ann Paine and Jeannette LeBoeuf on the secretarial staff. For many years, John Scannell ran Scannell’s Pack- age Store, but then came automatic duplicating machines and stores became obsolete. Some of the young men who graduated chose the field of physics and electronics. Laurence Berthiaume, Marshall Dana and Charles Howard were among those who did. Those among the graduates who knew that teaching would never die were William 46 Class Frophecy Bedord, Charlotte Monigle and John Murin. Thomas Fox became one of the greatest orators of the times while the theater world was enhanced by the en- trance of Judith Zimatravich, the Sarah Bernhardt of her day. The world of fashion took on a new look also. This was due mainly to the able hands of Sandra Salem, Nancy Paille, and Rosemary Plaud. Christine Nyberg and Celeste Arsenault became the proud owners of the Breezeway School of Ac- counting and Secretarial Arts, head instructors of which were Frances DiPilato, Carol Blackburn and Susan Deslaurier. Once again we see how the graduates of ‘63 recognized the talents of their classmates. During the early 70’s, Sandra Anderson, Paula Dempsey and Amy Stowe toured the world as America’s female good-will ambassadors. Janet Stepenovitch was awarded television’s coveted “Emmy” award for best dramatic actress of 1968 and Linda Narx received the Pullitzer prize in litera- ture for the first of her many sensational books. There were many whose chosen professions were anything but commonplace. Robert Sheehan, Paul Finney, Louis Minney and Frederick Vostok were ranked among racing’s notables while they drove for the America Auto Racing Team. Because of a reckless manner and fearless attitude for which he was noted throughout school, Robert Watkins de- cided to make his living by wrestling alligators in Florida. Working as a team, Dennis Rawinski, Raymond Millette, William Reeves and William Lange were the proud holders of the 1986 Nobel prize for “dis- tinct and meritorious achievement in the field of chemistry.” Today, Warren Henry Army is generally known as the Father of the American Political Re- form of the 20th Century. Some years after their graduation, Richard Sadow- ski, Patricia Van Ostrand, Kathleen Whittemore and David Maynard came to be known as prominent mathematicians of the 20th century. Nancy Hamilton and Judith Stewart were known as key figures in the field of biology. Many new businesses were formed as a result of the imaginations of some of the members of the Class of ‘63. A new automobile concern was found- ed by the Jackson brothers, Robert and George, with associates Wayne Howe of the Howe Tire Co., Ronald Chevalier of the Chevalier Industries, and Ralph Cofske and Way ne Taparowski co-owners of the Mitey-Mite Spark Plug Corporation. Gauthier Associates under the leadership of Donald Gauthier, manufacturer of bowling equip- ment, merged with Harold Briddon, owner of a large chain of motels. The result: 187 motels strictly for insomniacs. It was reported that one of their regular customers was the nationally famous satirist and lyricist, Gerald Bleau. Although the Olympic games were discontinued in 1982 because of international tensions, many of ‘63's graduates made their mark in this field. David Perry won the decathlon three years in a row. Other Olympic stars from the Class of ‘63 were Ronald McClure who set the standing world record for the broad jump, Pau! Millette who is still remembered for his three-minute mile and Joseph Langway who set the standing indoor record for the shot put in 1964. There were also two girl athletes from the Class of ‘63. Carol Paquette and Sandra Shaughnessy each won three gold medals in the ‘64 Olympics. Leaving the field of sports and regarding the aesthetic qualities of ‘63’s graduates, we see many interesting developments. Recording artists of the ‘70’s might well have envied Laura Bolafka, Judith Collette and Charlene Forrest, the Happiness Girls who sang their way from coast to coast. The art of ballroom dancing was made more of an art when Elaine Dulmaine waltzed onto the floor. Coming as a surprise to all, Jon Jacobson, Charles Kleiza, James Kotel and Tura Briddon opened an art studio in downtown Boston. One of their discoveries was a sculptor working away in a cellar apartment in Greenwich Village. Today, the name of David Leroy Snow is known throughout the globe. Another dis- covery was that of Thomas Sullivan. No, he was not an artist. He had simply been discovered managing a bowling establishment and was promptly signed to pose for the now famous statue, “The Bowler.” The person cantracted to make this statue was Margaret Skidgell, an aspiring sculptress. Margaret, however, liked to work to music so she hired the famous concert pianist, Priscilla Gibeau for the pur- pose. It is reported that the biggest art collection in the U. S. belonged to Allen Gregonis, well known member of the polo set. Today, some wonder at the motive which prompted Stephan Noonan to become head surgeon at Bronx Hospital. It had something to do with a P. D. class and a trial, but the facts are obscure and hazy now. While a doctor, he was assisted by nurses Diane Schunmann and Charlotte Pierce. James Salo and Stephen Redmond became experts on physical culture. Professional wres tling received a big boost when Kenneth Ricard bounded into the ring along with his tag team partner Wesley Taft. Their manager, John Taillefer knew what he was doing when he put them under contract. The Pentagon received quite a shock when Lieutenant General Roberta Poulin of the Women’s Marine Corps reported to a staff meeting one day Because of his flair for business, Harold Erickson opened Erickson’s Emporium which specialized in candy and ice cream. If we read newspapers of that period, we would see that severe critics of the American educational system were Robert Dulmaine and John Poisant. Early in the ‘80's, Michael Krumsiek and Edward Plante started a school for airline stewardesses. Their head instructors were Carmen Beaudoin, in charge of teaching the arts of standing, stooping and walking, Linda Bisel, in charge of teaching the correct pronounciation of “coffee, tea or milk,” Sandra Brady, in charge of advanced pillow placing and Alice Chapman, in charge of the smile school. Linda Hanson and Nancy Guilfoyle were noted for their work in the social welfare field. Judith Hickory had the distinction of being named the “Avon Sales- girl of the Year” for five years running. Walter Sprague was nominated for the title of “Humorist of the Year.” T he nomination was made by Cynthia Palin, noted columnist on the New York Times. Richard Parella was given the distinction of being the first man to land on the planet Jupiter. Following were members of the photo staff of Life magazine, Gloria Lilley, Karen Lundgren and Carmen Roy. Jeannette Tebo and Patricia Waskiewicz started a travel agency which specialized in trips to Arizona. Janet Morin, Beverly Germain, and Elizabeth White pooled resources and founded a bookkeeping agency which still prospers, even in 2163. Well, that was the Class of ‘63. A class of distinc- tion to be sure. My great-grandfather always said he was proud to be a member of that class. And now, you and | know why.

No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities cf citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. This is the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and was intended to make the freed slaves citizens, and to give them full civil rights, providing them with the right to vote and with freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press. But as Negro leaders point out, in some states the Negro is normally restricted by law to separate schools, hospitals, churches, space on trains and buses, and park and recreation areas. This condition was upheld by a Supreme Court decision in 1896 which ruled that states could provide ‘separate but equal’’ accommodations for Negroes and whites without violating the Fourteenth Amendment. But in 1950 the Supreme Court handed down three unanimous decisions that ‘separate facilities do not constitute equality.” The story of the American Negro is one of tribulation and discouragement. It is the story of a fight against great odds. For hundreds of years, the Negro has been held in_ slavery, poverty, and unsatisfactory living conditions. Now the Negroes of the United States are striking back in an attempt to obtain equal opportunities. They are tired of living segregated lives and having white citizens look down upon them. They are desirous of a better life for themselves and for their race, and they will stop at nothing in the struggle to obtain these opportunities and civil rights which we, as American citizens, owe them. The American Negro is a vast untapped resource striving to maintain a decent existence. His fate is mainly in the hands of the white population of the United States. No matter how hard he struggles for civil rights and equal status, unless we realize that the Negro needs and must have these birthrights there will be no peace for any race. Desirous of advancement, the Negro, as every other American, has a longing for education and a deep respect for it. He has gone to great lengths to obtain the education which will provide him with a successful place in our nation as a prosperous member of our free society. The main problems facing the Negro in his attempt to better his status have been poverty, lack of understanding, and_ in- effective methods of fighting back. Segregation has greatly limited the social development of the Negro. He has encountered such problems as_ insufficient health services, hospitals, and doctors; inadequate housing even when he has enough money to live comfortably; and insufficient educational facilities and opportunities to obtain his desired vocation. Embedded in the mind of the Negro is the realization that he is shut out of American society, and that his efforts to become part of it are beset with numerous and seemingly unconquerable obstacles. There are generally three attitudes which the Negro has toward segregation. The purposeful Negro will strive and strive again to obtain the education and experience necessary to set good examples for his race. Such familiar figures as Ralph J. Bunche, Edward Brooke, Marian Anderson, and Jackie Robinson have risen to become leaders in their chosen fields. James Meredith won his fight to gain admittance to the University of Mississippi, and in September of 1957 six teenage Negro girls and three boys faced danger as they entered Little Rock Central High School. They were all highly determined and _ intelligent young people with a deep desire to better their race through winning equal education for its children. There are also the freedom fighters, such as Martin Luther King and his followers, who use passive resistance to achieve their goals. The only crime they commit is that of parading without a permit, yet the attitude of the whites in Birmingham, for example, has only recently caused much injury and misery. The efforts of these freedom fighters have proved to be quite successful, as some integration has been brought to Birmingham and other strongholds of segregation. But among the Negroes there is also a group of “do-nothings” who are content to live in poverty and segregation. The character of these people, in many cases, is responsible for the opposition of the whites of the South to close association with Negroes. Many southern communities show definite signs of conquering the problem, however. By the end of 1962 there were 948 integrated public school districts in seventeen southern states. Several colleges have been opened to the Negro. Such places as libraries, restaurants, public swimming pools, theaters, and housing developments have been desegrated in many communi- ties. In little Elizabeth, West Virginia, Ronnie Costly lived on his grandparents’ farm eleven miles from the center of town. He attended Wirt County High School, where he participated in three sports and ranked tenth in his class. When he ran for student body president he won ten to one. He was by far the most popular of the four hundred students there. When a fatal heart attack felled nineteen-year-old Ronnie Costly in the school locker room, it was like “a death in the family for all Elizabeth.” Students cried openly in the classrooms, and an assembly was held to calm them down. Townspeople paid $500 for a funeral in the school gym and one thousand attended —250 more than the whole town population. It was a remarkable occasion—even more so because in an all-white high school, in an all-white community, Ronnie Costly was the only Negro student. All the Negro needs is to be understood and to have people judge him by his actions and his accomplishments and not by the color of his skin. The citizens of Elizabeth have shown the world that it is possible. The integration of the Negro into American life involves primary and secondary contacts between the races. Primary contacts are those which concern such things as churches and schools. Secon- dary contacts relate to the association of people on buses and trains, and in public places of amusement. It is in relation to family life that the strongest resistance to integration is en- countered. It is much easier to integrate a college than a grammar school, because the family ties are less important as the students become increasingly more independent. It is much easier to integrate a theater than a church because the family as a whole is more closely related to the church. The people of the world have long looked up to the United States as having a democratic, freedom-based government, where “all men are created equal.’ Yet as the segregation problem grows, they are losing faith in us. How can a nation associate with us as a friend and comrade against oppression when we discriminate against citizens of our own country? As Amos Kiriro of Kenya, Africa, a student studying in our country, has said, “|... your Constitution and your Bill of Rights say one thing about the equality of all men and yet all men do not practice the high ideals of your country.” The solution of the segregation problem will require the greatest wisdom and statesmanship of both white and colored groups. But the greatest burden rests on the predominantly white population to effect for the Negro the democratic and economi- cally secure way of life of which we have always boasted. Segregation ‘will be done away with only when free men understand one another’s needs and are willing to accept each other as children of God.” PATRICIA VAN OSTRAND 53 54 While freedom and equality are the underlying principles upon which a governing body may prosper, they alone do not con- stitute the fundamental attributes of a democratic society. America’s heritage represents the sanctified devotion of our ancestors, who through a love for their country were able to instill into following g enerations an everlasting patriotism for their homeland. Democracy, rule by the people, originated with the early Greeks, who understood it to mean a commonwealth in which power was exercised by a group of citizens and not by an individual or governing caste. For this reason, it is opposed to an aristocracy or monarchy. Early in Grecian history, the exclusion of the majority of the population from participating in political affairs brought about a feudal system which caused the degeneration of the mass of freemen into serfdom and, thus, allowed the poorer classes to gradually become independent. Consequently, rise was given to an entirely different system—democracy. Government by the people first manifested itself in the cities, where communities arose in which the people earnestly strove toward equality and freedom. Resistance was strong, but equally strong was the will of the people. Emergence from bondage had paved the way for the cooperative communities which became the basis for the new principle of government. Through con- tinued upheavals, spontaneous insurrections, and a variety of ideas, democracy rose as the supreme power. But the Grecian democracies were short-lived, and with their passing, the democratic concept of government lay nearly dormant for many centuries. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries have again seen the rise of democracies. We Americans pride ourselves on the con- tributions of our nation toward world-wide democratic ideals. But today, our government is facing a serious contender in the race for world leadership; for leadership, not dominance, is our goal. Our rival is, of course, communism—a system that asserts its desire for equality, but whose peoples do not enjoy this sincerely promised equality. In this sense, communism is opposed to our way of life in which everyone is given equal benefits and rights, not merely solemn vows. Here in America, we are blessed with an undying love for the freedom and equality which have evolved only as a result of hard work and fortitude. But our personal love and devotion for this country can be destroyed if we, the citizens of America, do not stand by each and every ideal upon which our nation has been based. We must endeavor to be individuals and, yet, to unite if the need arises. as one when and A people separated is a country with a government divided. If the United States is to be a leader, everyone must contribute a part of himself in the establishment of a more enduring nation of free men. Democracy _.. Amertea’s Foundation for the Future A democratic government must provide personal freedom entitling each citizen to the liberty and responsibility of regulating his own career, to equality before the law, and to unlimited suffrage and education. These characteristics are expressed in our daily lives; but, unfortunately, they are taken for granted by many Americans whose fellow citizens are deprived of them. Discontent within a democratic people could enable subversive elements to engage subterfuges and propaganda in such a way as to destroy every democratic principle that has been embodied in the entire course of this country’s history. And if we were to allow communism to grasp a foothold in our economic and social life, this devastation could and would occur. As free citizens, it is our duty not to give communism a chance. Because we represent our government, it is our responsibility to allow each political ideal to express its principles, but in no way should we endanger the rights and lives of our own citizens. Communism has been heard and rejected by the American people. But persecution and prejudice remain a part of our land. And such weaknesses as these could breed the discontent upon which in our national character communism thrives. These two flaws have caused other nations to regard us with distaste. To again be worthy of the respect of the world, we must shed the robes of segregation. As Americans, members of a democracy, we must rather be examples of freedom and equality—equality for all, regardless of color, race, or creed. We, as a group, must uphold each right and privilege with which we have been endowed. It will be then that we can truly call ourselves Americans. Set forth in the Constitution, the governing document of our country, are the guiding principles of the land—the formation of a more perfect union, the establishment of justice, and the promo- tion of general welfare for all. If every American would adhere to each of these ideals, our country would certainly be a land of opportunity—a land of richness not only in material wealth but in the hearts and minds of all. Rule by the people can endure as such when the citizens support the ideals and purposes of the government to the utmost of their ability. Democracy is the people; what we do, say, or feel constitutes the spirit of this free society. In this manner, we are the frame upon which our country is essentially based—a network of determined citizens intent upon a closer unity of free people throughout the world. In our dauntless march toward freedom and unification for all, we can be sure that democracy, “government of the people, by the: people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” PATRICIA WASKIEWICZ The Feace Corps = Organization of Friendship Let us pretend for a while that you are contemplating joining the Peace Corps. There is much that you will want to learn about it before taking any final steps. First you will want to get all the information that you can about the Corps. What is the Peace Corps? What is it trying to accomplish? How successful is it? What will be my role if | join? Let us take these questions one at a time. Just exactly what is the Peace Corps? The Peace Corps is a group of men and women, not only young adults, who want to serve their country in any way that they can. They are teachers, doctors, nurses, engineers, and people from many other professions. Some have college degrees; others do not. But they are all willing to devote two years of hard work to the United States and to the nation or nations in which they are placed. Now we come to our next question. What is the Peace Corps trying to accomplish? This is best answered by quoting from the Peace Corps Act, in which Congress set forth this purpose: M4 . to promote world peace and friendship through a Peace Corps, which shall make available to interested countries men and women of the United States qualified for service abroad and willing to serve under conditions of hardship if necessary, to help the people of such countries and areas in meeting their needs for trained manpower, and to help promote a better understanding of the American people on the part of the peoples served and a better understanding of other peoples on the part of the American people.” How successful is the Peace Corps? Like all new endeavors, the Peace Corps has not been without any disturbing incidents in its first two years of existence; but these incidents have been few. Naturally, there are still some doubters, but most of the people who were first against the Corps now support it solidly. An indication of the success of the Corps is that fifteen nations have established similar organizations or have them in the planning stages. Representatives from many parts of the world have been praising the work of the Peace Corps and the good example that it is setting for the young people of their nations. The Peace Corps is working out so well that President Kennedy is trying to establish a National Service Corps in the United States to help work on the slums and areas of poverty. He has also proposed a Youth Conservation Corps and a Hometown Youth Corps. All three of these organizations are direct out- growths of the Peace Corps. Now to answer the final question—what might your role be in the Peace Corps? After you have submitted your application, it will take considerable time before you are notified as to whether you have been accepted. Even if you are accepted, you may have to wait until a need arises for your particular skill. You may be sent to any one of the many nations the Corps serves in Asia, Africa, and South America. However, you may specify which nation you prefer. Let us say that you have been accepted, and that you are now ready to begin your training. You will be sent to a college or university in the United States for a training period, which will last approximately three months. This comprehensive training will deal with the culture, people, and policies of the host country; United States history, institutions, and values; international rela- tio ns, such language training as is appropriate; physical condition- ing; health instruction; and refresher courses in the skills required for the project. You may have a little difficulty learning Swahili, the language of Tanganyika, but no more than any _ other volunteer. The Corps takes care of food, housing, medical care, and expenses during training and while you are abroad. You also receive a termination payment of seventy-five dollars for each month of satisfactory service. You may be assigned to do anything from teaching to digging trenches, and you will be working beside the people of the host country. In most cases, the volunteer is assigned a ‘counterpart’ or “co-worker,” who is a citizen of the host country. This counter- part normally remains on the job after the volunteer returns to the United States. Of course, the idea that one of you has joined the Peace Corps is purely theoretical. But maybe you or | really would like to join. In my opinion, there is no better way to build friendship throughout the world. But the Peace Corps is not meant for just anyone who is seeking a diversion from his or her daily routine. You have to be a warm, outgoing person with a real interest in human beings. You have to be willing to work—to work really hard. living and cannot adjust to having only the bare necessities of life. The Corps is not for someone who is used to luxurious The Peace Corps is doing wonderful work. It was not organized as a method of propaganda; its purpose is only to build up under-developed nations to a point where they can help them- selves. From there on, what they choose to do is entirely up to them. One thing is certain—they will be better able to understand us and we to understand them as a result of the efforts of Peace Corps Volunteers; and that is half the battle. President Kennedy’s proposal for a different type of Peace Corps in our own country is a wonderful one. Many people wonder why we should help other nations when our own needs help. This will be the perfect opportunity to give our own people that help. | believe that if we have Peace Corps to help other nations and our own nation, and if other countries have similar organiza- tions, this world will be a far better place in which to live; and the people in it will be far better people with which fo live. RUTH ANN PAINE 55 56 You might find a group of them loitering in a doorway, or standing on a street corner gloomily smoking cigarettes, or aimlessly clustered in a neighborhood drugstore. They are young —mostly in their late teens or early twenties—but the problem they represent is particularly acute, and threatening to become worse. Who are these young people? What is their problem? Prepare yourselves for some unpleasant facts. The United States prides itself on its educational system—it spent an estimated eighteen billion dollars on education in 1961-1962 with the pur- pose of preparing today’s youth to become leaders and educators in the swiftly moving, highly mechanized world of tomorrow. Yet today, one million young Americans between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five are without jobs. Surprising and alarming as it may seem, these young citizens constitute the largest group of unemployed workers in the United States. Statistics show that unemployment in this group is at least twice as high as, and is rising at a faster rate than, that in older age groups. These one million youths who have passed up the three R’s now find them- selves trapped in the three U’s—unschooled, unskilled, and un- employed. These youths are most often referred to as “dropouts.” The future of these youngsters, according to former Secretary of Labor Arthur J. Goldberg, is “potentially the most dangerous social condition in America today.” “Their plight,” says Robert Taber, a noted Philadelphia educator, “is the great American tragedy of our time.” “Il don’t care whether there are five million dropouts a year, or two million, or one million,” Senator Hubert H. Humphrey recently remarked. “What matters is that there is this problem, that it dangerously infects every area of our society and economy, and that it is growing.” That it is growing certainly paints a sad picture. As matters stand at present, forty out of every one hundred youngsters in the United States educational system drop out of high school before a diploma is earned, or fail to attend high school alto- gether. “If this trend continues,’ says Abraham Ribicoff, former Secretary of Health, and Welfare, unschooled, unskilled, and unemployed youths will have soared Education, “the number of to seven million, five hundred thousand by 1970. Of these, some two million, five hundred thousand will not even have finished grammar school,” Unschooled, these find and era where education has become a must. Unskilled, teen-agers themselves in a_ society they are struggling to find employment where jobs are being replaced by the pushing of a button, or the clicking of a switch. “Unskilled and immature, the recent dropout finds himself abandoned to a The Occupational Race of Today Ts for the Qualified huge market place where he has nothing to sell.” The problem the dropout faces is painfully clear. Developments in technology and automation are not only raising educational requirements for employment; they are also demolishing many of the jobs which formerly demanded no skills. In New York alone, automatic elevators have already replaced an estimated forty thousand operators. Nor is the blue collar workman the only one whose job is threatened. Because of office automation, one million five hundred thousand office jobs vanished between 1953 and 1960. Therefore, this decade’s expected seven and one-half million dropouts will be all but useless in a mechanized world where, by 1970, only five per cent of all available jobs will be occupied by the unskilled. Moreover, the jobs available to these dropouts are of the lowest level, the most susceptible to irregularity, and the least open to advancement. Educational requirements for any kind of employment today are higher than ever before. The least most employers will accept for even a low-level job is a high school diploma. According to some personnel directors, “Within the next ten years, post- high technical school education for two years—at a junior college or institute—will replace the high school diploma as a basic requirement.” A million young Americans are not qualified to compete in the occupational race of today. Millions more will follow. Something must be done. The necessity of acquiring an education must be stressed by every responsible person if present day predictions of future dropout figures are to be avoided. A step in the right direction would be to recognize and remedy the danger signals which have been associated with today’s frightening dropout population. Some of these are frequent tardiness, unexcused absence, and report cards with low or failing grades. School counseling and guidance services encourage students to choose vocations and to work out the academic programs that Trade encouraging higher goals through courses which the high school will best them for their choices. schools are prepare curriculum is unable to offer. And in the United States, through adult educational courses and work-study programs, opportunity knocks twice for those individuals who did not heed educational advantages the first time. In this atomic age, where tomorrow’s security and freedom is so uncertain, the old maxim, “Ignorance is bliss” certainly no longer holds true. Recalling the words of Thomas Jefferson, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and still free—it expects what never was and what never will be.” SANDRA ANDERSON Good Luck. . .
